Prediger Abdelhamid: From influencer to the fraudster - giant scandal in Düsseldorf!

In Germany, a prominent Tikok preacher, who is known as "Abdelhamid", is the focus of the investigation on suspicion of commercial and gang-like fraud. The 33-year-old has built up a remarkable supporter on Tikok and Instagram, which is one hundred thousands. According to the German security authorities, his urgent and buddy way of preaching in sports jerseys applies as a potential introduction to a radicalization spiral, even if it has not been arrested for the time being.

The reason for the investigation does not lie in its extremist-salafist world view, which is classified as dangerous by the NRW constitution protection, but in an extensive suspicion of fraud. Abdelhamid is said to have collected more than 353,000 euros over 19 donations for supposed children and charitable purposes. However, investigations show that only a fraction of this sum, around 5,000 euros, was actually sent to the specified purposes.

family gang and luxurious lifestyle

Together with his 33-year-old partner and his 37-year-old sister, Abdelhamid is also suspected of being involved in fraud. The public prosecutor is also investigating them. It is noteworthy that the preacher already has a prehistory with legal difficulties, since he had previously been fined what the prosecutor Laura Neumann could be seen.

The idea that a preacher who presents himself as a model for a crowd of disciples, invests the money collected in luxury watches and an extravagant lifestyle, amazes many. A judge has now taken him in custody because there is a risk of escape and repetition. So far, Abdelhamid did not want to comment on the current allegations - the presumption of innocence applies in Germany.

The investigators have noticed that the preacher's donation calls were often unclear and vague. As a rule, he did not call where the money should flow and did not make any official collaborations with aid organizations. The investigative work, which began under the "donation" name, goes back to 2021. A search at Abdelhamid had already been carried out in the past, but apparently he did not prevent it from being acquired.

Recently, the authorities have received indications that the preacher is planning to break down to Dubai. This was one of the reasons why the investigators became active again. In doing so, assets were obtained and three apartments were searched. The investigators secured assets of 353,000 euros, i.e. the sum of the alleged damage. In addition, large cash amounts of 20,000 euros, several luxury watches from the "Rolex" brand and expensive handbags were confiscated. A limousine from Stuttgart was also ensured, and seven bank accounts were also attached.

Abdelhamid has serious in the Islamist scene with its presence on social media. Both the position of Islamism and the report of the NRW Constitution Protection will dedicate its own section to the Düsseldorf Huang. His simple, easy -to -understand language style attracts numerous fans - in January he already counted over ten million “likes” on Tiktok. In a way, he continues the work of Pierre Vogel, who now operates a boxing school near Cologne and has made the extremist Salafism accessible to a broader public.
